After the funeral, the pair retire to the pub and get drunk and fall asleep on the ground. When they wake up, they find that Hobo 2 has been resurrected. Hobo 2 reveals that the Rich Gangster planted a revival spell on his grave, intending to recruit Hobo 2 to attack Hobo 1. Instead, Hobo 1 and the resurrected Hobo 2 attack the Rich Gangster. The Rich Gangster teleports the three of them to his base in the future, where he threatens to kill them. He decides to be honorable, though, and gives them weapons to fight back. The final battle commences, and Hobo 1 is knocked unconscious. Hobo 2 and the Rich Gangster have a final confrontation, which results in their mutual deaths.
